00:00The PGA Championship, May 14th through 17th at Aronament Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.
00:07This one, close to my heart, as a big Donald Ross guy, originally designed by Donald Ross,
00:13opened for play in 1928, most recently renovated in 2018 by Gil Hance and Jim Wagner.
00:20This is a par 70, plays a little longer than 7,200 yards.
00:24And the course record, as we talked about before with Tommy, it's 62, it's held by a 5.
00:30In addition to Tommy, Tiger and Rory also co-hold that course record.
00:34Now, I don't want to asterisk it, but those all came in that 2018 BMW Championship.
00:40It'll probably set up a little bit different for a major than it was for a regular tour event.
00:44There are currently 17 players on DraftKings Sportsbook listed at 50 to 1 or shorter.
00:49We'll start again at the top.
00:51Scott Scheffler, plus 350, Rory McIlroy, plus 650.
00:55Then we go to Bryson at 10 to 1, John Rahm at 12 to 1, Xander at 14 to 1, Ludovic O'Berg, 18 to 1,
01:02Tommy at 20 to 1, JT at 20 to 1, Colin Murakawa, 22 to 1, Victor Hovland, 30 to 1,
01:10Tyrell Hatton, 35 to 1, Waukie Neiman, 35 to 1, Brooks Koepka, 40 to 1, Jordan Spieth, 40 to 1,
01:17Hideki Matsuyama, 40 to 1, Patrick Cantlay, 45 to 1, and Cam Young, 50 to 1.
01:25Jordan, 40 to 1 to get the Grand Slam.
01:28Jordan, 40 to 1.
01:29I mean, this is low-key.
01:32Everyone's talking about Scotty getting the career slam done.
01:34It would be hilarious if Jordan just sniped him one major early, got it done at Rondamate.
01:40I don't know a ton about this golf course.
01:42I don't remember watching the 2018 BMW Championship and just doing a little bit of light research on the golf course.
01:51DataGolf said this is a golf course that really favors the Bombers.
01:55And just looking at some pictures as well, it really appears to me that Bombers are going to have a really nice setup here,
02:02which is pretty accurate for most major championships outside of some narrow places on the Open Championships.
02:10But I'm really kind of lost on where I want to go with this one.
02:16It could be anything.
02:18You know, I think you could kind of group in, you know, 10 to 12 guys, and I'd be like, yeah, I like them this week.
02:25I think it's a bit of a guessing game.
02:26I think Scotty and Rory make sense that they're the two favorites.
02:30I could see Bryson playing really well at this golf course.
02:33Xander Schauffele, to me, could have a really good week here.
02:36Bobby Max, I think, a player who I think has an opportunity to win a major championship this year.
02:41Maybe Bobby Mack.
02:43I don't know.
02:45That's this one's the one I don't know.
02:48I don't know.
02:49It's not a pick.
02:50We had this is I mean, this is this is egregious here.
02:52We have, you know, Jackson Brown is not featured.
02:55He's listening to all this.
02:56He's watching all this.
02:57But when this episode ends, Jackson Brown has to take all of these predictions and make a little a tidy graphic.
03:04Why don't you go?
03:05You're going to make me.
03:07I'm fine with it.
03:07OK, because this is here's here's where I'm going to go here is each of these.
03:12I'm trying to find a theme.
03:13I'm trying to kind of find a story that I want to tell myself and the good people watching, listening to the smiley show why I believe in this player.
03:20Right. And so I'm looking back at a recent major held at a Donald Ross course, perhaps the most famous Donald Ross course.
03:28Pioneer's number two guy that was in contention to the very end was Rory McIlroy.
03:34And I'm thinking about Rory and I'm saying, where is it?
03:37Another Donald Ross course that just got a stunning facelift.
03:42It's currently in progress facelift by Gil Hans and Jim Wagner, where Rory's dad, Jerry, plays quite a bit.
03:50Seminole Golf Club.
03:52OK, he likes playing there.
03:54He plays well there, spends a lot of time playing there.
03:57I know it's a northeast course and a little bit of a different turf grasses.
04:00But why not Rory at a Donald Ross course that's been restored by Gil?
04:06I just I like I like him this week.
04:08I'm trying to I mean, you know, of course, it's not like I'm reaching down the leaderboard.
04:13He's the second shortest odds to win the tournament.
04:14But I'm making a Donald Ross Gil Hans good vibe sort of play for Rory this week.
